Associate Professor of Sociology Susan Murray examined campus climate through data
collected from 13 focus groups composed of administrators, faculty, staff and students. The
report was requested by the Campus Climate Committee, a presidential advisory group
composed of faculty and staff members, students and administrators.

Professor of Communication Studies Rona Halualani offered “an institutional strategy
and action plan for deeply infusing the university structure and community with the
values and practices of inclusion." The president appointed a team of 50 campus community
members to design creative action plans for implementing diversity across campus.
